HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025: Part II

[wedge]

The Flames get a lot better with yesterday's trade. Frost could finally thrive away from Torts and Farabee has proven he can play.

They'll make the playoffs and not only because The Canucks and the Kings are struggling right now.

Up to this point in the season I've been rooting for the Flames to win games to avoid finishing bottom 10. Methinks its time to do a 180 on that and start rooting for Flames losses.

I say wait another month just to be safe

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Briere got his pocket picked

So Vancouver moving on from JT....and only getting Chytil....yeah...we're getting a shitty 1st round pick.....

They also received Mancini and a protected 1st

yeah it really sucks.

Can St. Louis get it together and catch the Flames???? or Utah??

At this point it looks like it would take a major Calgary collapse for them not to make the playoffs.

17th OA is a shitty pick? Compared to probable best scenario 11th OA?

 

[26Mats]

man Juulsen was terrible on that Dallas 3rd goal.

17th OA is now best case scenario, if Flames make the playoffs.

Not unlikely they’ll be a 17-18 range if they make the playoffs given the reshuffle only happens in conference finals but obviously hard to give really know anything with how tight the points are in that range it’s wild lol

 

[Riggins]

Even if Calgary makes the playoffs and the pick is #17-20 it's a win. The crappy scenario was always Calgary in the bottom 10 and us getting the Florida pick and they go on to the ECF or better again.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Yup. Another crappy scenario is Calgary misses the playoffs but gets lucky in the draft lottery and move up. We then get Florida's pick and they go on to win the Cup again.

Never considered that one! Damn.

I still honestly see a collapse coming. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they finish 10overall or worse.

 

[bsl]

a lottery pick for Calgary would mean we get the Florida pick

Uh not sure on that. It’s where they draft and it’s not lottery protected I think. Board correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Boyon90]

while this pick is losing value, ours should get more by then end of the season, ghule injured, I see us going in the bottom 10 again

Uh not sure on that. It’s where they draft and it’s not lottery protected I think. Board correct me if I am wrong.

you are correct ,its top 10 protected not lottery protected

From puckpedia

If both Calgary's own 2025 first (1st) round choice and Florida's 2025 first (1st) round choice (previously acquired by Calgary) are not in the top-10 selections of the 2025 NHL Draft (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results), then Montreal shall receive the earlier of the two

And it continues with the other conditions all of which have the "following the determination of the lottery" tags. So if Calgary wins the lottery and moves into the top-10 we get Florida's pick

[TABLE=collapse]

Pick	OCT	NOV	DEC	JAN	FEB	MAR	APR
MTL 1st	8th OA	2nd OA	10th OA	12th OA
CGY/FLA 1st	17th OA	20th OA	19th OA	17th OA
MTL 2nd	40th OA	34th OA	42nd OA	44th OA
PIT 2nd	37th OA	41st OA	46th OA	39th OA

So our pick got worse by 2 spots, however we improved those 2 spots by Calgary dropping a bit in the overall standings.
Improved the Pitts 2nd by 7 spots.

According to my list, we'd draft:

• Radim Mrtka RD
• Braeden Cootes LW
• Adam Benak C
• Vojtech Cihar LW

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

you are correct ,its top 10 protected not lottery protected

That is incorrect, if they move in to the top 10 via lottery it will be protected.

This pick is getting traded at the draft just like the others. Don't get too attached to it.
